They both have more sacks and pressures than Clark. Are a fraction of the cost [Reply]

No, he wouldn't take a pay cut. But he WOULD restructure. [Reply]

But it WOULDN’T have been had he stayed with the Chiefs. His cap number was gonna be over $20 mil. this year and the Chiefs approached him about a restructure and he said ‘no thanks’.
He’s only making $8 mil. this year cause he was released. Had he stayed here he would have continued to waste a roster space for $20 mil. plus, while only playing hard when he felt ‘motivated’ to do so.
If you guys wanna be pissed at Frank Clark because he’s underperforming, fine.
But can we knock off the stupid Justin Houston narrative. It’s inaccurate, for one thing. And all he did was beat fucking Cam Erving on 2 plays tonight. That’s it.
A typical Justin Houston performance akin to what he had seen the last couple years prior. [Reply]

I am not a fan of Clark so far but coming into the game tonight Houston had 1 sack and 3 tackles and Ford has 2 sacks and 2 tackles. Which is pretty much the same as Clark. Ford has a bad knee issue which is probably one of the reasons they decided to trade him. [Reply]

The chiefs asked him to take a pay cut not a restructure lol. Players take restructured 100% of the time because it's immediate money for them. That's not what Veach wanted Houston to do [Reply]

As of now it is a monumental bust. A 1st a 2nd a huge $100M contract....
He was the major offseason acquisition along with Spags [Reply]
